Alexander Bolomatov, Partner of the Law Firm "YUST", commented for the Vedomosti newspaper on the draft law moved by a group of the United Russia deputies headed by Irina Yarovaya. The draft law raises the upper plank of the administrative liability for theft to 5000 roubles from the current 1000 roubles. Criminal liability arises, when said amount is exceeded, or if a repeat offence for an amount over 1000 roubles is committed within one year.
